About complete blood count (cbc) with differential
CPT 85025 is a complete blood count with automated differential: red cells, white cells by type, hemoglobin, hematocrit and platelets from one blood draw. It is among the most ordered tests in medicine, used for anemia, infection, bleeding disorders, chemotherapy monitoring and general check-ups.
What the price covers
The laboratory analysis only. The blood draw is a separate small charge. A CBC without differential (85027) is slightly cheaper and sometimes sufficient.
Why prices vary
A CBC costs a laboratory a few dollars on an automated analyzer. Hospital cash prices for the same test range from under $10 to over $300. Independent laboratories are usually a fraction of the hospital price.
Questions to ask
- What is the self-pay price for 85025 plus the blood draw?
- Is the differential needed, or is 85027 enough?
- Can the sample go to an independent laboratory?
